Dr. Gajanan K. Sontakke, Dr. Satish S. Mokashe

Abstract :

Population density of ostracod of two freshwater in India lakes was monitored from October 2010 to September 2011. Samples were collected using plankton net (pore size 64μ), and analysed with standard keys. Quantitative estimation is done by drop count method of Lackey. A total of 8 species from Kagzipura and 4 species from Mombatta Lake are identified. The population density of ostracod in Kagzipura lake (372 org/lit) is rich than the Mombatta lake (45 org/lit). Species diversity indices are also computed. Results indicate that the population density of both lakes increases in summer and decreases in monsoon.
